Broadchurch
Gather 'round - murder night on ABC1 just got interesting
again. Which is not to say Broadchurch, an eight-part drama series starring
David Tennant and Olivia Colman, is not heartbreaking. When the body of
11-year-old Danny Latimer (Oskar McNamara) is found at the bottom of a cliff in
Dorset , his mother Beth (Jodie Whittaker)
breaks the police cordon in incredibly authentic grief and anguish. For once
Tennant plays an unlikable man. DI Alec Hardy is a fumbling out-of-town
detective with a reputation for case mismanagement. He has been given the job
DS Ellie Miller (Colman) was promised, in some unexplained internal police
coup. Naturally, there is conflict from their first minute together. Things are
especially difficult for Ellie because in small-town Broadchurch she knows the
family and has known the victim since he was a baby. When her nephew, an
ambitious young journalist, sees the sister of the deceased placing a toy near
the murder scene, he tweets the victim's name before the family or the police
are ready. Ellie begins to see her community through the prism of Alec's cold
objectivity while he has issues of his own. A thoroughly engaging mystery
series with strong characters, set in a beautiful yet somehow grim place.
